1. A system configured to optimize a personalized humidification level comprising:
a respiratory therapy system configured to provide, via a user interface, an airflow to airways for respiratory treatment, the respiratory therapy system comprising a humidifier unit;
a humidifier configured to output moisture for changing humidity in an environment of the system;
memory storing machine-readable instructions; and
a control system with one or more processors, the one or more processors configured to execute the machine-readable instructions to:
receive, from one or more sensors, a first set of one or more physiological parameters associated with a user within the environment;
adjust one or more humidification operating conditions of the humidifier and/or the humidifier unit of the respiratory therapy system to effect change in the personalized humidification level for the user within the environment;
receive, from the one or more sensors, a second set of one or more physiological parameters associated with the user in the environment;
determine an effect on the user in response to the change in the one or more humidification operating conditions based, at least in part, on comparing the first set of one or more physiological parameters to the second set of one or more physiological parameters; and
update the one or more humidification operating conditions based on the determined effect on the user for optimizing the personalized humidification level.
